Quite a few Democrats are rebelling against their leadership and joining with Republicans to push for more domestic oil drilling. They've gotten an earful from voters who demand real solutions.

What is needed is something in the magnitude of the "Boston Tea Party" in order to get anything done by this congress that refuse to listen to the people. The current leadership is not listening to the people and that leadership keeps constantly coming up with excuses to prevent the actions needed to make us energy independent. "Saving the world" is not going to save America, and if America is not saved, then the world won't be saved.

Americans need to revolt by replacing that democratic party leadership in congress. The American voters also need to replace most liberals in congress with people who will actually care about making us energy independent. Enough is enough!

What would be an equivalent phrase for a revolt in 2008 which throws out the scoundrels in congress who are irritating the hell out of the American people?

High taxation and high energy prices can't be tolerated anymore. How do we let them know that "we're sick and tired and we're not going to take it anymore"?

Should we call it the "oil revolt of 2008"?

actions needed to make us energy independent

Like drilling? Tried it in the early 80's. Domestic production increased, prices fell, domestic production was no longer economically feasible vs imported, cheap gas increased demand and imports are higher than ever with prices not far behind.
